Ciência da informação e design de interação: as interlocuções das duas áreas em projetos de bibliotecas digitais

Abstract

The resolution of complex problems in today's information societyrequires a multidisciplinaryapproach and an attitude of collaboration between areas of knowledge. The digital libraryproject is one of these complex problems, since it combines technological, structural,information organization and also design aspects.Based on the assumption of interlocutionbetween Information Science and Interaction Design, this study aims to answer the followingquestion: "What interlocutions and links are there between the two areas?" And "Whatcontributions does this interlocutionpresent for digital library projects? A bibliographic researchwas conducted and possible links were raised and a conceptual map was subsequently createdin order to qualitatively describe and identify the relationships and interlocutions that areestablished between the two areas in digital library projects. The results show that interlocutionare two dimensions: (1) historical dimension, since the areas share the historical influences thatoriginated them and (2) project dimension: the digital library project involves knowledge bothfrom the point of view of organization and information representation, central issues of CI. Alsothey share the need to understand the user’s needs to design better interfaces and interactionsbetween systems and people (central design issue). Other links are also discussed, such asuser’s studies, human-computer interaction, usability and user-centered design.
